Description

Students will then complete guided discovery tasks where they will be introduced to the TL. They will then complete a controlled practice by changing the verb forms and a gap fill activity. They will complete a semi controlled speaking activity using the TL followed by a final Freer practice where the act out the verb and the other STS guess using the TL
